We'll be Tier 3 when this lockdown ends.

I'd be stunned if Johnson wouldn't kick the north-west to make London feel better about Tier 2 or whatever.

Even with an r rating under 1?

Surely that would trigger a response from the council. It's worrying they say no negotiation as well ahead of the announcement

Well, I certainly dont wont to kill anyone by enclosing them in a confined space for hours. That's one fun side of me that puts me ahead of the restauranteurs.

I hear ya Dave and you’re mostly right on this topic, but what’s your take on the mental health aspect with lockdowns? I think too often in society, when discussing covid or otherwise, mental health is ignored for physical when considering care and regulation. Apparently substance abuse and mental illness are also spiking during the pandemic. How do we combat that while still enforcing restrictions. Gotta be a balance, no?

I wish the argument about mental health was considered by the same people who complain about it re lockdown when they were considering bringing in the gig economy, agency labour, screwing everyone’s pension and generally cutting the welfare bill, social support and so on. Things that really did cause people to kill themselves.

There might be some areas of the NW that will be in tier 3 but it’d be massively controversial not to drop the City Region down a tier when the mass testing has proved to be a success in dropping the rates here

I'd never minimize the suffering people endure with that. However, the best thing anyone able to can do is to get themselves outdoors for a walk or get on a bike. I appreciate not everyone can, but most can. It's far more preferable than being in enclosed spaces in pubs or restaurants. I know there's the shouts for gyms to open, but I've never seen the obvioius correlation beyween gmy use and mental well being...its social, but I'm not sure why it is so much more beneficial than any other activity...and its nuts to be in a gym at the monet form a Covid19 perspective.

Haavara Agreement. Hitler was basically best mates with the Jews in Livingstone's head until he "went mad".

Which, of course, completely ignores history, Mein Kampf etc. but, hey, it's Ken Livingstone.

He said that Hitler was supporting zionism's goals by promotong Jews relocating to Palestine. I dont think that's the same thing.
